The longest night of the year is upon us (*), and what better thing to do than get yourself some nice mulled wine, sit back, relax, and play with the most recent rc kernel?
This has been a big merge window: we've got more commits than any other kernel in the v3.x kernel series (although v3.2-rc1 was *almost* as big). It's been a rather busy merge window, in other words.
The diffstat looks normal: about 63% of the patch being to drivers (staging, networking, scsi, gpu, sound, drbd etc) , 18% architecture updates (with various ARM platform things being the bulk of it as usual, sigh), and the rest being "various", like core networking, filesystems (new f2fs flash-optimized filesystem) and include files etc.
I'm appending the "merge shortlog" which is about the only half-way readable automated data I can give you. There's a *ton* of stuff here. Go out and test it,
Linus
(*) And by "us" I mean mainly people in the same timezone and hemisphere as I am. Because I'm too self-centered to care about anybody else.
